:00:08. > :00:15.Coming up, we meet the sheep getting a long overdue haircut.
:00:16. > :00:26.Plus Star Wars just keeps smashing records.
:00:27. > :00:28.First, to north-east India where an earthquake measuring six
:00:29. > :00:34.point eight in magnitude has hit in the state of Manipour.
:00:35. > :00:37.Buildings have been badly damaged and some have completely collapsed.
:00:38. > :00:43.The BBC reporter in India Justin Rowlatt has sent us this.
:00:44. > :00:49.Imagine being shaken from your bed in the middle of the night. That is
:00:50. > :00:55.what happens to hundreds of thousands of people in north India
:00:56. > :00:59.and Bangladesh this morning. The earthquake hit just before dawn.
:01:00. > :01:03.Lots of people ran out of their homes and into the street, that is
:01:04. > :01:05.the safest place to be when an earthquake hits. There was quite a
:01:06. > :01:11.bit of damage in the city numerous to the quake. A number of buildings
:01:12. > :01:14.have collapsed and many more have been damaged. The earthquake was so
:01:15. > :01:18.strong that it was felt hundreds of miles away. Quite a few people ended

:01:26. > :01:27.In Scotland, more than 30 flood warnings are still in place
:01:28. > :01:30.with strong winds and heavy rain continuing to cause problems.
:01:31. > :01:33.Thousands of homes were flooded in parts of Scotland and northern
:01:34. > :01:37.Many roads have been closed in Scotland today because of
:01:38. > :01:40.the weather and the main train route between Cumbria and
:01:41. > :01:48.Ivory poaching has become one of the biggest threats to some
:01:49. > :01:50.of the world's most endangered animals.
:01:51. > :01:52.There are lots of ideas about what can be done to protect
:01:53. > :01:54.elephants, rhinos and even hippos from criminals.
:01:55. > :01:58.I've been to meet one team who think they can help stop this illegal
:01:59. > :02:09.An African elephant's tasks are made from ivory. You might not know it
:02:10. > :02:15.but hippos have big ivory teeth. Sperm whales, yes, they have ivory
:02:16. > :02:19.teeth, too. Ivory poaching has had some devastating effects on the
:02:20. > :02:23.populations of these endangered species around the world is, because
:02:24. > :02:29.it is worth a lot of money. A single ivory task could be worth between
:02:30. > :02:36.?5,000 and ?10,000. Rhino horn, just one kilogram is worth more than
:02:37. > :02:43.gold. To give you an ideal, in Africa, where ivory poaching is
:02:44. > :02:46.common, 30,000 elephants a year are killed for their tusks. --
:02:47. > :02:48.you an idea. That is the equivalent of 80 a day. Now a team of
:02:49. > :02:54.scientists from London might just of 80 a day. Now a team of
:02:55. > :02:55.have come up with a way to tackle of 80 a day. Now a team of
:02:56. > :02:58.this problem. This is my fingerprint. It is unique because no
:02:59. > :03:04.one else in the world has the same one. That includes member of my --
:03:05. > :03:08.members of my own family. Fingerprinting could be the key to
:03:09. > :03:11.protecting some of these animals. Normally fingerprints are done using
:03:12. > :03:16.a certain kind of powder which normally reveals a clear print that
:03:17. > :03:22.you can see. Why has this not been done for ivory in the past?
:03:23. > :03:26.Previously, that was impossible. Ivory itself, even though it looks
:03:27. > :03:30.smooth and hard, if you look at it under a microscope, it is full of
:03:31. > :03:34.tiny holes. Your fingerprint will actually disappear down the halls.
:03:35. > :03:41.The powder we use here is much smaller. If you decrease the size of
:03:42. > :03:45.the powder, it needs less to stick onto. This type of fingerprinting
:03:46. > :03:50.has two still be tried out for real. When it eventually does, what do the
:03:51. > :03:58.scientists hope to achieve? In the short-term, we can use this type of
:03:59. > :04:03.technology to link somebody to illegal trafficking of ivory.
:04:04. > :04:06.Ideally, in the long term, we would like to stop hurting the animals.
:04:07. > :04:09.It's probably no surprise to lots of you that the latest
